Free After 25 Years Behind Bars

A Muncie man who spent nearly 25 years in prison left the Delaware County lockup a free man on Wednesday. A judge granted a motion setting aside the 1992 convictions for rape and criminal deviate conduct against 60-year-old William E. Barnhouse. Prosecutors and attorneys with the Innocence Project filed the joint motion after recent tests showed it was another man’s DNA in the sexual assault case.
